Ron Gilbert

Ron Gilbert is one of the lead designers at game developer Double Fine Productions. His top creations include Maniac Mansion, Pajama Sam, Total Annihilation, and Deathspank.

Despite his history of making humorous games, Gilbert is a notoriously grumpy fellow. One of the Backer Contribution Awards for the Double Fine Adventure project is a photo (either artificial or actual, depending on the donation level) of Ron Gilbert smiling.
